Life

Life is not easy.
It's the hardest thing you'll ever do.
It's depressing.
It's frustrating.
And there's nothing you
Can do to change that.

Sometimes things won't always
Work out in your favor.
That's okay.
Just keep pushing on.

There will be times you feel broken,
Like you don't belong,
Like you're a waste of space.
Don't feel that way.

Life is meant to break you down.
And it WILL break you down.
You have to learn to
Build yourself back up again.

Life is a bully.
Just when things are going well,
It pushes you down
And kicks you while
You're on the ground.

Life is difficult.
It forces you to make choices
You shouldn't have to make.

The happiness of a person.
Will it be mine?
Or will my friend's happiness come first?
What would you choose?

Selfish and selfless.
Such similar words,
Yet such different meanings.

Do I take what I want,
And become greedy and selfish,
But end up with all I ever wanted?

Or do I take the selfless road?
Do I let my friend take what I want,
When I know it will make her happy?
Whose happiness means more to me?

"Always put others before yourself."
That's what I've always been told.
And that's what I decided to do.
My happiness will never be priority.
